Chapter 159
When Old Man Chen came and thought of this, she got angry and scolded the second son for earning ten chickens.
Xiao Bai gave two.
I used bacon to replace two, and still owed six.
He said he would give it to her after Xiaoyi came back, but the old man couldn't wait any longer. He was so greedy that he wanted to eat the meat right away.
The chicken was not left overnight and was stewed on the same day.
She said to leave one for her eldest son to take away to help Xiang Hong produce milk, and not to mention killing all the dead old men.
He also promised Chen Shengnan, that silly girl, two pieces of meat and asked her to pluck the chicken feathers.
That damn girl works very efficiently.
When she came back from selling her goods at the village entrance, both chickens were chopped, added with some salt, and steamed in a pot.
That's all I'm giving you!
When it came to eating, she couldn't compete with the old man. She didn't even eat a few pieces and the old man ate them all.
I haven't eaten meat for a few days and I'm craving it again. The old saying is right, the more you eat, the craving becomes greater.
Old man Chen was too lazy to retort. He tapped the pipe on the sole of his shoe, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked out.
"Where are you going so early in the morning? Are you skipping breakfast?"
Old man Chen: “…” He wants to eat meat, not corn cakes or corn paste!
Seeing that the old man ignored her, Old Mrs. Chen became angry again.
Chen Shengnan in the next room rolled his eyes, sat up, and put on his cotton pants and cotton jacket at an unprecedented speed.
He put on his shoes and followed Old Man Chen out the door without even having time to wash his face.
He quickly caught up with Old Man Chen, licking his face, "Master, are you going to my brother Qingsong's house?"
"I'll go with you."
Ever since my divorce, I feel a little awkward when I talk about my second aunt's family, fearing that people won't like it. If I talk about Aunt Zhao, it seems strange.
The Chen family might as well just call Zhao Xiangmei by her full name.
Or let’s talk about the Qingsong family.
She would like to talk about Xiaoyi's family, but Chen Qingsong is the eldest, and that's the custom in the countryside.
For example, the mother of someone also calls the eldest brother by his name.
Unless a child is particularly promising.
Old man Chen put his hands behind his back and let the snowflakes fall on him. "I'm going to pick up the big flower. Why are you following me?"
"It's snowy and slippery, I'm afraid you'll fall again!"
"Just forget it!" How could Old Man Chen believe this nonsense? He had such nimble legs and feet.
Chen Shengnan curled his lips and picked the boogers in his eyes to see more clearly.
"What can happen to Dahua?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Brother Qingsong will send it back soon. You are just using the big flowers to cover the willows (as an excuse) to go out and eat something delicious.
Right?
Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi will definitely prepare something delicious when they come back, "I'm anxious too, but let me be clear in advance, I'm not here for the food.
I was even more anxious to see the gift Xiaoyi brought me.
Of course, I miss her too, and that’s the most important thing.”
After Chen Shengnan finished speaking, he nodded vigorously to prove that he was not just doing it for the things.
Old man Chen looked at his granddaughter with an indescribable expression. You say she is not smart, but she knows to follow.
You say she is smart, but she says it so loudly and it sounds fake.
The two of them walked in the heavy snow for almost ten minutes before they arrived. When they entered the yard, they didn't even look at the big flowers and went straight into the house.
Dahua:……!!
It was a wrong payment after all.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Shengnan sniffed and smelled the aroma of roasted potatoes and meat.
The weather is particularly cold this year. Shi Lanhua is afraid that next spring will be too cold, so she doesn't even let them eat roasted potatoes, for fear that there will be no vegetables in the spring.
Chen Shengnan took off his thick gloves and called out, "Auntie, Xiaoyi, I'm here.
I came here with my grandfather."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xiangmei and Chen Qingsong came out from the east room.
Chen Qingbai, Chen Qingfeng and Chen Qingyi also hurriedly put on their shoes and went downstairs.
Zhao Xiangmei smiled and said, "Dad is here."
I've called him dad for so many years, it's not that I can't change it, it's just that no one generally cares about it.
After all, it would be awkward to call the four children’s grandfather Uncle Chen!
There's no need for that.
However, Zhao Xiangmei called Old Lady Chen "Auntie Chen", which made the old lady very angry.
"I came to see Xiaofeng and Xiaoyi. I haven't seen them for such a long time, and I missed them so much."
What the old man said was not entirely false, he thought it must be true.
I can’t tell how much I miss it.
Chen Shengnan was making weird faces and gestures behind him.
Chen Qingfeng couldn't hold it back and wanted to laugh, but Chen Qingyi pinched him from behind, and he immediately changed to a affectionate face.
"Grandpa, please come in quickly and get on the kang. It's warm there. Xiaoyi and I miss you too. We'll go after dinner!"
"Master, have you eaten yet?"
"If you haven't eaten yet, eat something here."
"I didn't eat it, and I didn't even wash my face." Chen Shengnan answered from the side, feeling happy that he had come with the right person.
Xiaoyi's house was full of heat and warmth, unlike her own home where her mother was reluctant to burn firewood.
The kang was just a place where people could sleep, but it was warm enough that she would be woken up by the cold in the morning.
"Then I'll make you some extra noodles, a few fried eggs, and a few drops of sesame oil. You and your grandfather can eat here."
After Zhao Xiangmei finished speaking, she took out a bag of noodles from the kitchen cabinet, which weighed about one pound.
He took out the meat that he had thawed in the morning and prepared to stir-fry a plate for Old Man Chen.
"Mom. I'll do it."
Chen Qingyi rolled up her sleeves, unwilling to let her own mother serve her ex-father-in-law.
"You can go chat with my grandpa, or go call my grandpa."
Zhao Xiangmei put down the noodles and wiped her hands casually on her apron. "Okay, I'll go get your grandfather."
She and her former father-in-law really had nothing to talk about.
Before she could put on her thick cotton-padded jacket, the cotton door curtain was lifted from the outside.
Old man Zhao, old lady Zhao, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Chuanjia, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Chuanwen all came.
"Xiaoyi is back. Your mother has been very anxious these days since she knew you two were coming back. Your grandmother and the others are also worried.
It’s good to be back. We’ll be slaughtering pigs in a few days, so I’ll be able to catch up.”
Aunt Li Chunfen touched Chen Qingyi's head curiously.
Second aunt Li Yuni was holding a small basket of eggs and handed it to Zhao Xiangmei with a smile, "Our Xiaoyi has grown up like a young lady."
Chen Qingyi greeted everyone one by one, and the three brothers Chen Qingsong, who had just entered the house, came out to greet them.
It was so lively that the temperature in the whole house rose again.
Zhao Xiangmei was tearing it apart. "Come on, why do you need eggs? We have everything we need at home."
Ever since her divorce, her two brothers have been taking eggs, giving her vegetables, and even wanting to give her food whenever they have nothing to do.
Even though her family is already living such a comfortable life, they are still worried that she will have a hard time raising four children alone.
She felt both heartbroken and amused.
"Hurry up and take it. If you don't, your second brother will scold me."
Li Yuni smiled.
"Does my second brother dare?"
Zhao Xiangmei couldn't resist, so she took it anyway, thinking that she would share more of the things Xiaoyi brought back with them.
Old Mrs. Zhao grinned and said, "Second brother, don't dare."
The second son is tough and tough with outsiders, but he never speaks too loudly to his wife at home.
Li Yuni was not ashamed of being teased by the old woman. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the aunt and sister have been getting along for a long time and have a very good relationship.
Chen Qingyi deftly cut the meat into shreds and poured some oil into the pot.
With a "sizzling" sound, the pot exploded and water was added.
It’s just shredded pork noodles. It’s very difficult to fry it again.
Wedro, only holds dirty water.
I think that was the case in the countryside in the 1960s and 1970s, but in my memory, my grandma's house was also a thatched house. At that time, all the houses were brick and tile, but my grandma's thatched house was very neat and tall.
